Rick's previous editors have had to quit. He has eyesight difficuties, and says:

My last few editors, one for ten years, kept a list of the recommended changes. I can read the list, use find to find the spot in the document, and then I listen to it, compare notes with the suggetsted edit, and take the action I think is best.

It requires a bit more time, but my editor of ten years was an English teacher, and he devised the method that has kept me writing. This will scare off people, but when someone agrees to do it the way that works best for me, they find it isn't as time consuming as it sounds at first.

Can you be that editor?

His email is at the head of any of his chapters. Please make direct contact. He does need one. It's getting in the way of his abiity to write and be proud of his work

Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
